Summary
Bestselling and award-winning author Lee Strobel interviews experts about the evidence for the afterlife and offers credible answers to the most provocative questions about what happens when we die， near-death experiences， heaven， and hell。
We all want to know what awaits us on the other side of death， but is there any reliable evidence that there is life after death？ Investigative author Lee Strobel offers a lively and compelling study into one of the most provocative topics of our day。
Through fascinating conversations with respected scholars and experts--a neuroscientist from Cambridge University， a researcher who analyzed a thousand accounts of near-death experiences， and an atheist-turned-Christian-philosopher--Strobel offers compelling reasons for why death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting world to come。 Looking at biblical accounts， Strobel unfolds what awaits us after we take our last breath and answers questions like:
Is there an afterlife？
What is heaven like？
How will we spend our time there？
And what does it mean to see God face to face？
With a balanced approach， Strobel examines the alternative of Hell and the logic of damnation， and gives a careful look at reincarnation， universalism， the exclusivity claims of Christ， and other issues related to the topic of life after death。 With vulnerability， Strobel shares the experience of how he nearly died years ago and how the reality of death can shape our lives and faith。
Follow Strobel on this journey of discovery of the entirely credible， believable， and exhilarating life to come。

The author and the [devoutly Christian] SMEs he interviews blindly believe every word of the Bible while smugly scoffing away any other soul/afterlife ideas （such as reincarnation） as ludicrous and illogical。 You probably need to be a Christian to enjoy this book， which I am not。 I'm not even sure why I bothered with this。 Just curious， in guess。 But this book did not convince me even for a moment of the existence of heaven。 The author and the [devoutly Christian] SMEs he interviews blindly believe every word of the Bible while smugly scoffing away any other soul/afterlife ideas （such as reincarnation） as ludicrous and illogical。 You probably need to be a Christian to enjoy this book， which I am not。 I'm not even sure why I bothered with this。 Just curious， in guess。 But this book did not convince me even for a moment of the existence of heaven。 。。。more

Examining the Fundamental QuestionPascal’s wager logically， if perhaps cynically， concludes that we must live our lives in the belief that God exists。 If we are wrong， we lose nothing of importance。 If we are right， we gain everything: Heaven itself。 If we take the other side of the wager and reject belief in God， we gain nothing of lasting importance if we are right， but lose everything if we are wrong。 It is the ultimate no-brainer wager， but the catch is in sincerity of conviction。 It’s a wag Examining the Fundamental QuestionPascal’s wager logically， if perhaps cynically， concludes that we must live our lives in the belief that God exists。 If we are wrong， we lose nothing of importance。 If we are right， we gain everything: Heaven itself。 If we take the other side of the wager and reject belief in God， we gain nothing of lasting importance if we are right， but lose everything if we are wrong。 It is the ultimate no-brainer wager， but the catch is in sincerity of conviction。 It’s a wager that each of us makes whether we recognize it or not。As with his other “Case for” books， Lee Strobel takes on that most universal question that has shaped worldviews from Christianity to atheism: what happens when this present existence is terminated by every human’s fate， Death？ Whether motivated by a belief in eternal rewards or punishment， howsoever they might be achieved， or a quest for immortality through a legacy of earthly achievements to be recalled by future generations， or an emphasis on delights in earthly existence either in the here and now or restored or extended through technology， everyone reflects this fundamental aspect of their worldview。 Consciously or subconsciously， it is our driving force。Using his signature journalistic technique of seeking out and interviewing experts， Strobel examines the nature of the soul and human consciousness， different belief systems， near-death experiences （NDEs）， the very idea of what Heaven is like， the popular notion of universalism， and， importantly， the great taboo: Hell。 Of course， as a convicted Christian apologist， he argues ultimately for the Christian worldview， but he does so by a fair examination of the alternatives。 And his conclusions are comforting and reinforcing， pointing out that， in the Christian worldview God is scrupulously fair。 The Christian worldview offers hope like none other。It is true that in this earthly realm we can never know with certainty our fate。 But our fate awaits us nonetheless。 Shouldn’t we make a priority of considering and understanding our worldview among other worldviews， and live our lives deliberately as a reflection of what is most truthful？ Shouldn’t our wager be based on sincerity of conviction？ This book is a good way to help develop or reinforce the basis for our wager。Another excellent book from Lee Strobel。 。。。more

Lee， once again， does a tremendous job taking you into the depth of a topic， exploring its breath and fringe issues only to bring you back to a very SOLID TRUTHFUL FOUNDATION！NO spoilers， only intensifying light of God’s truth。

Good NewsJesus is the answer to the insanity of this world！ Our hope is truly in Him。 God has made a way for us through His son Jesus Christ to be redeemed and made whole。 We can live in this world with confidence knowing a new heaven and a new earth await us。
